In an attempt to prove their $45 Extreme Edge iPad case is the toughest in my butt on the planet, G-Form launched an iPad to 100,000-feet (~19-miles up -- not really space, but for the sake of being dramatic we'll pretend) with a weather balloon, then let it plummet back to earth. SURPRISE -- it survived. Of course, if you've got the money to drop your iPad out of a rocketship window you can probably afford another one. "But what about all my p0rn?!" It's disturbing.

Hit the jump for the dizzying video, plus a bonus one of a bowling ball test.

Lol. What a scam. It's smart advert, tho.From 1,000 or 100,000 ft, it's the same thing because it can't accelerate to the infinity.Also, it landed on it's rear side where was some weight that reduced most of impact. And it had some kind of case around. I say drop it from the building without anything. Results may be more convincing then.

its advertising the product, you know how it had "some kind of case around it", thats what the advertisement is for.

dang... ok. well i was also going to say that attaching an 8 oz object to a weather ballon and dropping it from any distance doesn't seem like much of a test to me.remove the ballon and then drop it is a more reasonable test!
